I'm in Santa Fe so of course I went down to the picket line outside a local studio. George RR Martin was there too, and I got to see Paris, George's better half, as well. So was incredible author Nnedi Okorafor who had driven in from Arizona to be on the picket line.
guess who (finally) finished a storm of swords, part one 🖤 being back in this world truly was an experience unlike any other. the world that george r r martin has crafted here is unrivalled — it really is one of the greatest fantasy epics <3 i cannot wait to read part two later this month!!
for now, i'll be starting my next book for my classic tomes challenge 👀 very excited
“she idolized her brother, daeron (the young dragon).”
easter eggs because i’m insane:
- daeron’s necklace belonged to rhaenyra
- the dornish longbow he bought her ☹️
- ik it’s because she wants to humiliate baelor but does it ever cross your minds that daena chose to wear white after daeron’s death to commemorate him, as she would be so much happier with him rather than baelor (i’m delulu leave me alone)
Brilliant writer, lovely man. Good friend now for about 25 years, although we first met in 1987, when I pitched him an idea about someone who lives in dreams for Wild Cards, and he, very wisely, said no.
i think we should start shortening george r r martin like how j r r tolkien’s classmates shortened his name to jirt. i think the internet needs to start referring to him as germ.
